Soca elvis biography dvd

Soca elvis biography dvd Riley went missing in similar circumstances on November 29 last year. Also the theatracial verson, in the concert, had the version of Are You Lonesome Tonight, where Elvis fouls up the spoken part of the song saying plus tax etc. Thus we have an "Elvis" who returns from beyond the grave to hold forth on such matters as the death of his beloved mother, his stint in the Army, his marriage to Priscilla and the birth of Lisa Marie, the skein of awful movies that preoccupied him during the '60s thus sidelining him from the pop music scene while the Beatles and Bob Dylan were changing the world , and his descent into the maudlin, hyper-medicated fashion disaster that was Elvis in the '70s his assessment: basically, "Geez, I wish I'd seen that coming". He called on all creatives to be more aware and sensitive to the content of their artistic works.

Review | 'This Is Elvis' Special Edition DVD

This Is Elvis

The documentary This Is Elvis-- produced with the guidance of  Jerry Schillingand Joe Esposito-- made its DVD debut recently from Warner Home Video in a two-disc 'Special Edition'.

Released in , along with several other titles*; 'This Is Elvis' is just the cherry on top of the cake, as another documentary on the life of the King Himself.

It includes a true retrospective and includes interviews with those that were close to him. Included are the original release, and the additional scenes they includes in If you want to know about Elvis, this is the DVD for you.

Narrated as if from beyond the grave by a contemplative Elvis ("People always bugged me about my hair," the Elvis-imitating narrator states at one point), 'This Is Elvis' is an almost literal mixed bag: a movie biography that mixes archival performance, news, interview and home movie footage with re-enactments of Elvis' childhood, teen years and final days.

The first disc contains the original minute, PG-rated theatrical version of the film, while the second disc is devoted to the minute edition released to home video in The longer version rambles needlessly and is more tasteless and voyeuristic (scenes of 'Ginger Aldren' waking up alone in bed and finding 'Elvis' slumped on the Graceland bathroom floor were cut for the theatrical release); its full-frame picture quality also is inferior to that of the widescreen original release.

But it does include a lot of vintage footage not on the first disc, including a sequence in which a gum-smacking, slouching young Elvis visits WHBQ-TV host Wink Martindale to promote the Memphis Press-Scimitar's Cynthia Milk Fund; a game- show appearance by Elvis' grandfather; and an excerpt from the 'Elvin Pelvin' episode of 'The Phil Silvers Show'.

This version also eliminates some of the more embarrassing Elvis footage found in the original, including some sexual remarks and a forgetful, almost incoherent s performance of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight'.

-- John Beifuss

* Also released with 'This is Elvis' on DVD is a two disc edition of 'Elvis: That's the Way It Is' and the following movies - 'Charro!', 'Kissin' Cousins', 'Girl Happy', 'Live a Little, Love a Little', 'Stay Away, Joe', deluxe editions of 'Jailhouse Rock' and 'Viva Las Vegas'.
